Socialist Revolutionary Party

The Socialist Revolutionary Party was a social democratic and agrarian socialist political party in the Soviet Union which existed from 1902 to 1940. It shared power with other liberal and democratic socialist forces after the 1917 Russian Revolution, and it won a plurality of the vote in the November 1917 elections, the first-ever democratic elections in Russian history. However, the Constituent Assembly was dissolved in January 1918, and the SRP split into pro- and anti-Bolshevik factions as a result of the Bolshevik seizure of power. The party continued its politics in exile, and the party was a member of Socialist International until 1940.
